Recoilless launchers you say?

Any bet they'd weigh like, a tonne on my shoulder though.

i wrote this on a toilet wall in a train station when i was 13. i have posted it before but it is buried in the sediments of time.

there was many homosexual scrawlings on the wall like " benny here 4:30 to 5:30 looking to suck ass", so i wrote..(pretending it was from aliens who unfortunately landed in the toilet room and derived their attitude about humans from only that experience)

we just dropped in from outer space,
to learn your native tongues,
but ne'er did we see a more amusing disgrace
to see that yours are searching just for other men's bums.

Yep, recoilless. Some are heavy, some are fairly light.

Most manportable shoulder fired rocket/grenade projectors use an open breach mechanism, i.e., basically just a tube. When such is fired, the propellant explosion is vented out the back of the launcher whilst the projectile is launched out the front of such. This helps mitigate the opposite and equal reaction forces (since the mass of the propellant and projectile are similar). The downside is that you lose quite a bit of velocity in comparison to a normal gun (less range), and it's lethal out to several meters if people stand behind the launcher when it fires (the backblast). The positives are launching a projectile that's very large for a manportable device, in addition to the lack of recoil.

I have dreams of shooting up wrecked cars with such.

I'd actually like to make a recoilless golf ball launcher. Fairly simple, the basics that is. It's illegal though, so I can't do it.

I remember the days that Saturday Night Live was good and there were all these fun skits like Coffee Talk with Linda Richmond and James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub. I used to watch it every Saturday night. :lol:

11 hours of sleep= :D

Maybe I should begin to learn to drive because there is nothing school-related to do.

Learning to drive definitely gives you a lot of freedom. It's a tedious process, though.

I do hope I can keep the stress levels down. Even a little driving game gave me more stress than what would be safe.

Trust me, it's not like that irl. Start in an empty parking lot without pressing on the gas. I used to be scared of real driving because I was so bad at driving games, but real cars are much easier to control than games.

There comes a time when you just want to throw aside every tedious thing that has mattered for the past years of your life, and spend time just doing nothing. I am in that state of mind right now.

If anyone else can give me pointers on how
to stop 3 ladies from following me around at school, PM me!
